[Completed][MG] ZGMF-X42S-Revolution Destiny Gundam Heine Westenfluss Custom - [Updated 30th December 2015]

I bought this at Macau during an overseas trip at New Yaohan shopping mall, price is quite value for money in my opinion lol.. I chanced upon this expo (Not sure when was it) limited kit there and buy it since it's cheaper than what the Singapore shopping malls sells, but still expensive than what those selling at hobby shops, so it's kind of in the middle lol..

[Completed][MG] PF-78-3A Gundam Amazing Red Warrior Meijin Kawaguchi's MS - [Updated 17th October 2015]

Next kit for Gundam Build Fighters Try series, the Amazing Red Warrior which is built and piloted by Meijin Kawaguchi. I'm still waiting for the day that Bandai decides to make the Build Burning Gundam lol... But before that, I generally like the kits that were featured in GBF Try series, just that I preferred to collect MG kits more lol...

[Completed][MG] Shin Musha Gundam - [Updated 5th October 2015]

I got this kit as a gift from my colleagues friends whom I worked with in school (workplace) and I had moved on to work on my new job role. All the thank you messages were at the back. Awww... =')


Back to the main topic, This kit is based on RX78-2 Gundam, added on with some samurai armor and designs lol.. And according to the manuals which I had flipped through, the legs caught my interest as it was made a single movable frame on the runner, like what we would normally see with those movable frames from the RG kits. This could be interesting build lol...

[Completed][MG] MSM-04 Acguy Principality of Zeon Amphibious MS - [Updated 11th August 2015]

I bought this kit at SG Docks At Takashimaya shopping center last time, but I was preoccupied with all the previous few build I did so it got ended up in my backlog. Now that I finished building them, I can now start to build this kit.

This kit is the so-called Beargguy's predecessor, except that it's in MG size lol... Although the kit was released many years ago, it comes with it's own base stand and water effect parts (as this MS can go underwater lol) and three little kids figurines that stands on top of Acguy's head.

[Completed][MG] XXXG-01Wfr Gundam Fenice Rinascita Ricardo Fellini Custom MS - [Updated 17th July 2015]

This was recently released a few weeks back, another kit from the Gundam Build Fighters anime series. I like the way the show redesigned the Wing Gundam. In fact, most of the main characters' kits I like their design alot lol... Having build the RG Wing Gundam Zero, I'm quite relieved that I'm back to building MG kits again lol...

This kit comes with a brand new action base stand which people could do custom painting on it to their preference. I'm keeping it plain for now as I don't really know what to do about it other than straight building it...

Note: I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post my WIP pics here but I will just post a few of the initial ones and then hold on the rest during the mid-way of the build until I submitted my entry... Or I will just check on the rules and regulation again and will see how lol...

Silhouette of Sinanju

*Updated 1st May 2015: I had completed gathering all the parts from other kits, dissembling them and separate them out for spray painting...

*Updated 29th May 2015: Name and details has been updated and the kit has been revealed lol...

*Updated 8th June 2015: For the past few days I had been separating the armor parts from the runners which I had completed doing that yesterday. So tomorrow I will be doing spray painting for the armor parts and the weapon parts for color testing. I had ran of Gun Metal color (everywhere also ran out lol) so I had to replace with Light Gun Metal which is supposing much lighter in color.

*Updated 9th June 2015: I hadn't posted any pics up here, yet. I do have pics taken for this kit and it's WIPs, but I'm kinda sticking to the rules that I followed during HLJ's Playing with Plamo competition last year. I know GBWC rules didn't state that but I'm just doing it just in case. So do forgive me if I don't post any pics.

But in the meantime, I had spray painted all of the main armor parts, and even went ahead to complete the Dark Emperor Stein's Dual Shield Blade and the Beam Rifle for color testing. Turns out to be real great so I'm sticking to that for now lol.. I had also implement the use of metal parts for this kit so expect more drilling again and more sacrifices of the pegs which those metal parts can't fit in..

*Updated 10th June 2015: Finally done separating the inner frame parts from the runners and I had also made some adjustments in my color plans as well, which resulted in lack of Light Gun Metal color. No worries, I could go there and get some more again and maybe buy some Flat Matt top coat as well along the way lol.. Now that this kit is pretty much complete (after spray paint and building), I should think up of some diorama for this. Not too complicated, just wanted to get the basic foundation up for GBWC, and from there I could improvise it after GBWC and reviews.

*Updated 12th June 2015: I had been building this kit for the past two days and it's currently almost complete, need to do top coating and it's pretty much done for this kit. What's left to do now is to come up a basic and simple diorama and fixed a pose. I still have time to plan this out as the GBWC for Singapore hasn't open for registration yet.

*Updated 21st June 2015: I came up with this preview picture of my work, together with my Holy Knight Stein in front. Of course the main focus is this kit that I currently build lol.. Finally a new picture in this post haha...

*Updated 28th June 2015: the foundation of the custom base stand is done. Don't be too hopeful cos it's just a simple base stand with some cut-out styrofoam blocks draped with some cloth, and a simple plaque with a simple description of my build lol...

[Completed][MG] PPGN-001 Gundam Exia Dark Matter PPSE Works Custom Made MS [Updated 8th May 2015]

Finally I gotten this kit... You could say this was the originator of my DMS project, but I wanted to do a Holy version of this kit, but that would be another story some time in future lol..

Build by the great Meijin Kawaguchi (modified by PPSE works) from Gundam Build Fighters anime series, I really like the looks of this kit and it's backpack unit which is a bird-like weapon lol...

First kit to mark the start of my new project, the Darkness Mobile Suit project. This wasn't really part of my DMS plan initially until I realized that I still had enough leftover parts from my Banshee Norn and plus I still had the red Psycho Frame parts still not used, so I was thinking "Why not just make something out of it under the DMS project?" So voila, there we have it, the Dark Unicorn Emperor lol...

This is not part of Project Evolution, so it's two different Unicorns. They are like brothers fighting with each other. That's about it for now lol.. Until when I'm more or less figured out how the plot goes, this is as much as I can made up now lol...

This kit won't be subjected to much focus as I'm only using leftover Unicorn parts but still would be putting in the same effort as of what I do with my HMS kits normally. But however, for this DMS project it will have two Emperors. The other Emperor will be the epic one and as ausual, the last kit to be build lol...

No Armed Armor XC and DE in this kit, maybe considering the DE... (I still got the bootleg DE parts lol...)

List of parts used for this kit:
- MG Unicorn Banshee Norn (without chest mane, Armed Armor DE & XC) as the base
- Red Psychoframe parts from MG Unicorn OVA
- Water decal sheet from MG Unicorn Banshee Titanium Finish Version
- Special Beam effect parts from HD Builders bonus pack

List of Tamiya Spray Paint used:
- TS-06 Matt Black (For main armor parts)
- TS-85 Bright Mica Red (For selected armor parts)
- TS-38 Gun Metal (For Darkened Internal Frame)
- Light Gray Primer Surfacer (1st coating for priming, for selected armor parts)

[Completed][MG] MS-09R Rick-Dom Principality of Zeon Mass Productive MS - [Updated 25th December 2014]

Initially I wanted to save my free time to build the PG Unicorn, but since it's has "destined to be arriving by end of this month from HAW, I had no choice but to get this to kill some time. I had always wanting to get this, seeing that this guy was so popular among the builders as grunt units were the easiest to customize.

Side note here... Build Burning Gundam not included. Cos ppl still got mind blown that a gundam was actually hidden in a Dom from the 1st episode of GBF Try lol...

[Completed][MG] RX-93-V2 Hi-Nu Gundam Ver. KA Amuro Ray's Customize MS - [Updated 7th December 2014]

It's a while since I last build my kits lol... I'm kinda back from my short hiatus of building Gunpla but won't be doing as much as I did last time lol... To start things off, I finally got this kit, which is what I wanted all along too alongside with Nightingale but sold out lol... I bought it at a promotional price at Hobby Art Work so it's quite worth the buy lol...

I do have some plans on customizing this as part of my Dark Mobile Suit project... But it's tentative, so it's not confirm yet lol...

This kit was made last as I was gathering some leftover parts that I had built from my previous Unicorn Gundams and other kits. Don't ask me how I came up with all this armaments name and abilities, they just came out of my mind, just like that lol... This should be the most number parts being swapped/added to it... You could consider this as kit bashing, since I'm adding on so many different parts to it lol...

I will be updating this post from time to time. So any latest pics I took will usually be added at the end of this post.

[Completed][MG] RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn Exclusive - [Updated 7 August 2014]

Finally a MG Banshee Norn, as a P-Bandai exclusive =.=''' That aside, I like the majestic feeling of this kit when it's in destroy mode, especially the Armed Armor XC and DE, which is why I'm considering to add it to my Holy Unicorn Emperor kit.

Unicorn is no stranger to me, seeing that I had built MG of these many times already lol...

I temporary put my Holy Emperor kit aside for now, and do a straight normal build of this first. I needed some references as this kit has too many parts, plus I'm dealing with a MG Version 3.0 on top of it lol... I will get another of this kit soon once I have more of less confirm the final color assignment for my Holy Emperor.

I will update this post as I moved along. Click on 'Read more' to view more pics XD

What can it be???

Yup.. This is what I wanted to do originally, before all the evolution thingy spawns lol...

This is a combination of Holy Fighter and Holy Strike Booster kit, part of the evolution idea that I came up with, again thanks to Wing Gundam haha... And don't ask me how I came up with these names and stuffs as well, because I really had no idea how, but it just came up to me lol... This post will be doing some poses so no WIP pictures will be in here.

I will update this post as I moved along. Click on 'Read more' to view more pics XD

Just for illustrations lol...

*Updated 9 July 2014: Combined the Holy Fighter and Holy Strike Booster and you get this =D These are all poses pics. For WIP pics you may refer to my separate blog post on Holy Fighter and Holy Strike Booster XD

[Completed][MG] HMS-B01 'Holy Strike Booster' Build Booster Painted Build - [Updated 9 July 2014]

Project Name:
HMS-B01 Holy Strike Booster

Armaments:
- Holy Beam Cannon x2

Special Ability:
- Docking (Able to attach to Holy Fighter to become Holy Strike Fighter, increased performance, grants the Holy Heavy Shield and upgrade to Enhanced Holy Beam Rifle)

I know this booster came together with the Build Strike and all that blah blah blah explanations. But I just don't feel it's right to not give it any unique name for it lol.. But since this booster can be an independent kit and it can shoot things down and all by itself, so why not?

This booster kit is an additional Backpack Unit for the Holy Fighter, and also part of the evolution for it when it attached to it, they will become the "Holy Strike Fighter", which I will feature it on another separate blog post. I have another booster that is coming up too, and this one, everyone knows what booster is that next so I won't need to explain further about it lol..

I will update this post as I moved along. Click on 'Read more' to view more pics XD

There's no boxart for this MG booster, so I can only use this image for illustration lol...
